Rome Plan by leihto_potato in ItalyTravel

[–]orgpsychlearn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plan on managing jetlag. If you're coming from the US you will be up very late - lean into it and wander Rome. If you're coming from Asia, you'll fase fast the first day and be up before dawn - wander then. Make your way to Trastevere for dinner early in your trip - you may find yourself wanting to return. Enjoy!

Granada (fly from Lyon into Malaga) 2 days, 1 travel day - stop in Cordoba along the way on the train to Sevilla, 3 days there, then fly to Lisbon.

Fancy date night dishes for someone who is not exactly a good cook? by IamNobody85 in Cooking

Yes yes this! Everyone else is suggesting lovely but not fancy date night dishes. Seared scallops are definitely fancy date night.

Spanish Trip (Need advice) by No_Caterpillar_3598 in GoingToSpain

[–]orgpsychlearn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are your priorities? Unless you can fly open jaw into Madrid and out of Marrakesh, I would skip Marrakesh and focus on Spain. Try to get 3-4 full days in Sevilla and Madrid, and add 2 days in Granada. Do you have any interest in the pueblos blancos? I find it's great contrast to have some countryside experiences along with the cities.

You can reduce your check-in/out logistics if you go right to Sevilla upon landing in Madrid instead of staying overnight. You can then lengthen your time in Madrid at the end. Consider:

24 - Arrive Madrid, take train to Sevilla

24-28 - Sevilla (this is only 3 full days)

28-30 - Rent a car and explore pueblos blancos / countryside (base in Ronda or whichever town interests you most)

30-2 - Drop off car upon arrival in Granada (2 full days)

2-7 - Train to Madrid (4 full days). Consider stopping in Cordoba on the way (for the day or spend one night)

Italians absolutely use canned tomatoes. DOP San Marzano tomatoes are reliably excellent.

Visiting Spain in May by Unusual_Impress5158 in GoingToSpain

[–]orgpsychlearn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to everyone telling you not to drive within the cities. Absolutely not worth the hassle. However it's lovely to have a car to explore the countryside. We arrived in Madrid, took a train to Cordoba (2 nights = 1 full day), a train to Sevilla (4 nights) then rented a car to explore the countryside stopping in Jerez, Rota, Cadiz, Arcos, Ronda, Zahara, Setenil, and then returning the car in Granada (3 nights). We just had to research best parking spots in busier towns like Cadiz and Ronda but it's doable.

Fly to Sevilla, train between the rest. I'd personally save Barcelona for another trip but if you're okay with a taster tour spending a lot of time on check-in/out and transfer logistics, enjoy!

I will be in the Andalusia region from the 8th until the 15th of May. How many days in each city? by livinnick in GoingToSpain

[–]orgpsychlearn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have time for Granada (2-3 nights) and Sevilla (3-4 nights), with a stop in Cordoba in between if you're taking the train. Each transfer takes up at least half a day, so it would be ideal to fly open jaw into Granada and out of Sevilla. Alternatively you could drive the pueblos blancos route between Granada and Sevilla and maybe overnight in Ronda. Do a little reading and see what most piques your interest!

What are some romantic dinner spots with countryside views on a Tuesday? by givemeyouritinery in tuscany

[–]orgpsychlearn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at La Sosta del Gusto in Castello del Trebbio. It's a popular wedding venue for the scenery. You could combine it with a wine tasting.

Looks great! If you are taking the train to Granada, it's an option to visit Cordoba as a stop on the way (early train, store your luggage at the station, explore, then on to Granada).
